Book Excerpt: 
. . .All prayers in one—my God, be unto me Thy own eternal self, absolutely. 9. Where should the unknown treasures of the truth Lie, but there whence the truth comes out the most— In the Son of man, folded in love and ruth? Fair shore we see, fair ocean; but behind Lie infinite reaches bathing many a coast— The human thought of the eternal mind, Pulsed by a living tide, blown by a living wind. 10. Thou, healthful Father, art the Ancient of Days, And Jesus is the eternal youth of thee. Our old age is the scorching of the bush By life's indwelling, incorruptible blaze. O Life, burn at this feeble shell of me, Till I the sore singed garment off shall push, Flap out my Psyche wings, and to thee rush. 11. But shall I then rush to thee like a dart? Or lie long hours . . . Read More

This book by far is the most brilliant piece of literature I have ever read. Mcdonald’s theoloy intermingled with his love of fiction and poetry produced something truly breathtaking. It surprises me actually, that he has not had as much recognition as he should and it makes me wonder if it is only

I have been meaning to write an updated review of this beautiful and powerful book by the great Scottish writer I so greatly admire, so here goes! I find George MacDonald's theology absolutely fascinating, challenging, and spiritually nourishing. My favorite sermon from this book, is The Child In Th

This isn’t the easiest book to read. The language feels overly complicated. But there are incredible nuggets of truth throughout.

“What I want to say and show is that a man will please God better by believing some things that are not told him, than by confining his faith to those things that are expr

George MacDonald is a fascinating writer whose works cover a wide range from imaginative fantasy stories to deep reflections on the Christian gospel. This series of sermons is the latter and are beneficial for any Christian to work through. MacDonald's unspoken sermons cover a wide range of topics f
